Hel posted:I know Holbrook is a nerd but is the barcode actually valid and if so what does it mean? I would be extremely surprised if you could get any sort of valid barcode from just 11 vertical lines. Edit: Maybe a 2-digit number, barcodes are designed to be read forward and backward, with 'backward' characters having a different bar than forward (so a backward 5 is different than just mirroring 5) E2 Plus a 'check' digit, where you add all the numbers together so the reader knows it has read right So the number '123' would have bars for 1,2,3,b3,b2,b1,6. Most characters are multiple bars (like morse code) as well. Evilreaver fucked around with this message at 16:01 on Aug 23, 2014 |

BlankIsBeautiful posted:Heavenly Nostrils One of the first webcomics I got into when I was 14 or so was Simpson's webcomic, Ozy and Millie. To the point where I own the first 5 book collections, and I believe the strip ran for 7 collections. Lately I've been wondering how it holds up today, and since Heavenly Nostrils seems to be so well received I figured I'd post it here. It starts January 1st, 1998, and the earliest strips are probably going to feel more Kevin and Kell than Calvin and Hobbes. The comic is hosted on GoComics but I'm too lazy to go through and save them one at a time, and also start in the middle of wherever they are in the list. Fortunately this old mirror site of the webcomic offers zips downloads of the strip by year so I just have to update some image numbers. 5 a day sounds reasonable. Ozy and Millie      The first 2 years are this much more crude style. The strip eventually goes on hiatus and comes back looking more like this:

Guy Haakon has to have the best castle in the world if Prince loving Valiant can't think of a clever way to approach it. We got to be at least talking razor wire and machine guns here. Possibly a nuke.

Lapinlahden Linnut: The PR Gig Espoo is a part of Helsinki metropolitan region known for its concentration of many corporate HQ's. Nokia was running into difficulties around 2011 which is when the corporation hired a former Microsoft boss as their CEO. What followed was that Nokia got rid of their mobile phone business. In hindsight perhaps Timo Eränkö would have been the better choice...

The lesson I keep learning from the archive posts is that everything was golden before I showed up. Just like mom said. Take Skippy, for instance... (June 4, 1927)  Peanuts (August 26, 1967, which is also a few years before I showed up)  M. Night ("Funky") Winkerbean gives us...A TWIST! (August 23, 2014, which kind of proves my point)  Popeye  Rip Haywire  And to distract you from missing Out Our Way, here's Peanuts: Year One! (March 22-24, 1951)

Son, you're getting fistfuls of Dave Berg and absolutely no Al Jaffee in your diet. Old MADs repeat a lot, but there is good stuff in there. You know about Jaffee's fold-ins, right?  The picture you have to fold the page to get the joke?  Jaffee does other things, like Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions. He, Aragones, and the old movie/TV satires were always the backbone of the book. Bleeker is off the leech!  Pickles lived through the Great Depression, and also the 1930s.

Bill Gaines once said that he loves "Fold In" because they essentially force you to damage the magazine in order to do it. Since some people prefer pristine copies for collecting, they are enticed to buy two copies of the same magazine, one to fold and another to store. A better strategy than printing dozens of variant covers. :P A little bonus. Don Martin, for most of his career, actually relied on ghost-writers to supply gags, through which Don would mold into his style (including his famous sound effects). For years Duck Edwing supplied him gags, but others also contributed, including Sergio Aragones. Here's a Don Martin strip that Sergio wrote.  Here's how Sergio originally drew them:

It hits the same humor centers as It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - sometimes it's fun to laugh at horrible assholes. I get the impression that Berg wants us to laugh at these characters, not with them.
